About

Myristoyl Methyl Beta-alanine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This myristoyl-modified beta-alanine functions primarily as a conditioning agent in rinse-off cosmetic products. It has no entries in any EU restriction Annex and is considered safe for use under REACH. Its amide linkage between a C14 fatty acid chain and beta-alanine provides substantivity to skin and hair, though it is primarily used in rinse-off formulations where systemic exposure is minimal.

Skin benefits

  • Acts as antistatic agent reducing static electricity in hair
  • Provides conditioning and softening effects on skin and hair
